63. Anson
ANSON
Two weeks after shit went down with the video being leaked, I stood outside Enzo’s door, waiting for him to answer.
Things had died down, so at least we had that going for us.
I’d flown in with Klaus to see our wife because tomorrow we had an appointment here in town with a doctor Dom had referred me to for finding the paternity of the twins.
Klaus had gone ahead to our apartment, and I was going to stay the night with Cole and Rosalie so we could wake early and head over to see this doctor.
The fact that I was missing out on this pregnancy was breaking my heart. The sooner we found a place here in the city, the better. In fact, we were going after the appointment tomorrow to check out a few places that we all seemed to like.
“Hey,” E greeted me as he opened the door.
“You look excited to see me,” I said as I followed him into the high-rise.
He grunted but said nothing.
“Where’s my wife?”
“Bubble bath with Cole. Ellis and Laz are sleeping,” he said, taking a seat on the couch. “Enzo is at a dinner party. I’m here. And you’re there.”
I frowned at his attitude and took a seat on the couch next to him.
“What’s going on with you?” I asked.
“Just living my best life,” he mumbled.
“E, man, come on. Don’t be that way. What’s wrong? Is it because Rosalie and Ellis are here? If it is, I can take them back to our place right now, and we’ll be out of your hair—”
“Do you know what Rosalie does every night when she thinks everyone is asleep?” he asked softly.
I frowned and shook my head. “No. What?”
He leaned forward and buried his face in his hands for a moment before sitting up straight and exhaling.
“Have you spoken to Enzo lately?”
“No. Not in about a week.” I stared at him in confusion.
“I can’t fucking do this. I love Cole, and I know how much his family means to him. You know he’s waited for this forever, right?”
“Yeah, I’m aware,” I said, continuing to frown at him. “What’s going on?”
He breathed out.
“Don’t hate me. Please. Don’t hate the guys. And I fucking beg you not to hate Rosalie. Can you promise me?”
“Just tell me what’s going on,” I said, growing frustrated.
“Promise me.”
“Fine. I promise,” I said, eyeing him wearily. Whatever the hell this was seemed to be causing him a fair amount of turmoil.
“I went into Enzo’s room. He wasn’t up like he usually was, so I went to check on him. I… I found him naked. With Rosalie. In his bed.” He stared at me, his green eyes wavering. It seemed that telling me had taken everything he had.
“He didn’t want me to tell anyone, but I’m not going to sit on any more fucking lies, Anson.
I’m not. This will break Cole if he finds out, but he needs to know.
I told Rosalie to tell him, but she hasn’t.
I don’t think she’s fucked Enzo this week, but I’m not here all the time.
” He breathed out and tugged at his hair.
“And if Cole didn’t know, I figured you didn’t either.
I’m not telling you this because I want everything to fall apart.
I’m telling you because I don’t want shit to get ruined. I want it all out in the open.”
I said nothing as I sat in my spot. I already knew Enzo and Rosalie were trying.
We’d given her our blessing. Was I still pissed at Enzo?
Absolutely. Klaus had to talk me down from flying back to Chicago the night I spoke to Enzo on the phone.
I was packing my bags again when Enzo sent over his statement on the video bullshit.
It had calmed me to see he was moving faster, and Klaus told me to control myself.
After a discussion with Evan and Ryder, I was able to settle in at home and work on my own shit, but it was killing me to be away from my wife.
I hated it. I was ready to buy a whole ass hotel and move our family into it if it meant we could all be together.
“I’m not trying to cause problems, but I don’t want anything destroyed with lies. So… I’m telling you. I was going to tell Evan, but I know his temper with that damn bat. I thought it best to tell you and let you tell the guys.”
“I appreciate that,” I said softly, not really knowing how to navigate this. It was clearly bothering E, but I also didn’t want him knowing she had our permission because we’d sworn we wouldn’t say anything. I also understood where E was coming from on the secrets and the lies.
I decided the best course of action was to talk to Rosalie, see where she stood on everything, and tell her she needed to tell Cole. It was only right. E was onto something there.
“Are you OK?” E asked gently.
I shot him a quick smile. “I’m fine.”
He frowned. “You don’t look fine.”
“It’s a lot to take in. I’m going to go talk to Rosalie.”
“Man, she doesn’t know that I was telling you—”
“I won’t tell her you told me,” I said gently. “I only want to see what she has to say. Thank you for your honesty.”
I went upstairs to find Rosalie exactly where E said she was.
“Hey.” She sat up quickly, the bath water and bubbles shifting with her. “You’re here!”
“I’m here,” I said, smiling at her and ignoring Cole holding her.
“Join us.” She held her hand out to me, and I quickly undressed to join her.
“Great. Ass soup with Ass Hat,” Cole muttered, shifting as I slid in across from him. The water was lukewarm at best, but I knew Rosalie cooled it down because of the pregnancy.
“Maybe if you’re a good boy, I’ll let you drink some,” I said.
He wrinkled his nose and splashed water at me.
I chuckled at that. I’d talk to Rosalie later when Cole wasn’t around. For now, I just wanted to love her.
I reached out and tugged her away from Cole amid his soft protest and dragged her onto my lap.
She straddled me easily, her breasts brushing against my chest.
“How was your flight?” she murmured, rubbing her pussy against my hard cock.
“Far too long,” I answered, cradling her face. “I couldn’t wait to get to you. Evan said you stayed with him and Ryder last night. Did you have a good time?”
“Very much so,” she said.
“Hey,” Cole grumbled. “I’m still here, you fucking woman hog.”
“Hey,” I said, not looking at him as I studied my wife’s face. “Cuck it out right where you are, bitch.”
“Man, fuck you.” Cole moved over to us and kissed along Rosalie’s shoulder. She let out a contented sigh, which only made me smile.
“Did you tell Cole how good Ryder fucks you, baby?” I asked.
Cole grunted and pinched my leg. I let out a hiss at the bite of pain.
“No,” Rosalie said, kissing my neck. I smiled as my eyes met Cole’s. He didn’t look all that distressed, so I figured he was making progress and acclimating to the group dynamics.
“Did you fuck him with Evan?” Cole asked, caressing her breasts from behind as she slid onto my cock. A contented sigh left my lips at her tight heat.
“No,” she replied. “Evan isn’t ready for that.” A soft moan escaped her as she rode me gently.
I gripped her hips tightly, eager to get off on her. She had a way of making my world come alive. I loved her with everything I had and would ever have. She was my world, and I really hoped she knew that.
Cole grunted, seemingly content that Evan hadn’t fucked her with Ryder. Again, he was making progress, so that made me happy.
“You going to fuck her with me, Scott, or you just going to kiss on her like you’re a fucking noob who’s never tasted pussy before?”
He responded by pushing her against me as I lay back further. He worked his cock into her pussy next to mine and let out a low groan.
“You just love my dick, don’t you?” I mused.
“Don’t flatter yourself,” Cole rasped. “I love her pussy. Your cock is just in my way, so I work with what I can, metal dick.”
I chuckled at that. “Keep telling yourself that. I bet I can make you come before she comes.”
He snarled at me, clearly trying to get me off first.
I loved this game. Fucking with him would never get old.
And Rosalie seemed to really like it, because she took both dicks like a champ, which only turned me on more.
“Yes,” she rasped. “God, you both feel so good.”
I kissed her soft lips as I jutted my hips up, my dick sliding against Cole’s deep inside her body.
Even I had to admit it felt really fucking good to feel his cock inside her with me. The guy could drive me nuts all day, but I knew when the sex was good. And Cole Scott was good.
My girl loved his dick, so I would too.
Rosalie shifted back, and Cole’s hands were immediately on her tits again as he fucked into her with me.
“You going to come for us?” Cole husked out.
“Yes. Mm,” Rosalie replied. “Feels so good.”
“Yeah, it does,” Cole said, kissing her neck, his hands still on her breasts.
I watched in wonder, still jutting my hips up slowly. Cole picked his pace up, and so did I.
Rosalie moaned for us again and fell against my chest as we really hammered into her.
“Come for me,” I called out, my voice low and rough. “You know you want to fucking come for me.” Talking like that to Rosalie always got her off.
But it was Cole who cursed softly before his body tensed as he unloaded his cock deep inside her pussy.
I grinned at him as he moaned his pleasure before I captured Rosalie’s lips with mine and kissed her deeply.
Cole tried to pull away, but I reached out and gripped his ass tightly, pulling him deeper.
“Stay. You lost.”
He snarled softly, but stayed put as I fucked Rosalie faster. She came in seconds, those soft cries something I lived for.
I followed, filling her pussy before slowing to a stop.
“Baby, I have missed you,” I murmured against her lips. “You’re so fucking perfect. I love you.”
“I love you,” she answered back softly.
Cole pulled her away from me and dragged her onto his lap before fucking into her again.
I didn’t move. I simply watched her take his cock and stroked mine.
I didn’t mind in the slightest.
After Cole fell asleep, Rosalie and I went downstairs. No one was there, so I figured it was a good time to talk to her about what Ethan told me.
“So I talked to E,” I started as we settled on the couch.
“He knows,” she said immediately. “About Enzo.”
I nodded. “LeeLee, you need to tell Cole. E is right. He’s the only one who doesn’t know, and I know he wants all of us together. If it doesn’t work out with us all, then it doesn’t work out, but you didn’t want secrets anymore. This is a secret. So please. Talk to him.”
“I know,” she said. “I’m just scared he will get his hopes up and then be hurt if it doesn’t work out.”
“Think about how he’ll feel being the last to know,” I said gently.
She hugged me tightly. “I’ll tell him soon. Let’s get through the appointment and looking at houses. Then I’ll tell him.”
“Promise?”
“Swear it,” she said.
We were both quiet for a moment before she spoke.
“Ani?”
“Yeah, baby?”
“Ethan said they can’t leave this life. That it’ll always find them. That he and Enzo are stuck here because of enemies and all that. Do you think that’s true?”
I was quiet as I contemplated my answer.
“Do you want the truth or a pretty lie?”
“The truth,” she whispered.
“I think E is right. The guys and I have already discussed it. We decided we’d come back into the life if we had to.
Evan said that Enzo wanted the top. That he promised it.
He wouldn’t make him give it up, but he really just hopes shit turns out like a dream.
We all know that it can’t, but we’re just here, waiting to see which direction we need to move. ”
“You’d come into this life again?” Her voice shook.
“I would do anything for you and those I love, LeeLee. I know Enzo can’t just up and leave.
I get it. We were hoping, but he has a lot of enemies, and they won’t rest until they’re dead or he is.
So, we’re coming to Chicago. We’ll do what we must. Maybe someday we will get to leave.
Maybe we won’t, but it doesn’t matter as long as we’re all together.
If all the enemies are dead, maybe shit will get better.
I don’t have a crystal ball to see that far ahead.
So, I wait. But I’ll wait with you while we sort through it. Together. Our family in one place.”
“You’re all too good to me,” she said, her voice cracking. “I want everything to be OK. I don’t even care if we’re in this life or not. I just want us all together. Am I selfish?”
“If you’re selfish, then I am too,” I whispered against her lips. “Because that’s what I want too. I know I can protect our family. It’s in my blood.”
“I don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
“That’s the game we play. But don’t think about it. Let us handle it. I promise we’ll make it through.”
She snuggled against me, and I held her tightly. When she finally fell asleep, I carried her upstairs to Cole’s bed and placed her beside him before I crawled in and kissed her stomach gently. She was developing the smallest little bump.
“Hey, babies,” I murmured. “Daddy is here. I love you so much. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I kissed her stomach once more before shifting so I was lying beside her. I placed my hand on her stomach where the babies were nestled and closed my eyes.
A warm hand gave mine a gentle squeeze.
“You’re a complete dickhead, but I’m glad you’re here,” Cole murmured into the darkness.
I smiled at his words. “You’re glad I’m here?”
“Easier to smother you with a pillow when you go to sleep.”
I laughed softly at his words, but I could hear the smile in his voice.
We were going to be OK. That is, if he didn’t kill me in my sleep.
